Mental stress assessment remains riddled with biases caused by subjective reports and individual differences across societal backgrounds. To objectively determine the presence or absence of mental stress, there is a need to move away from the traditional subjective methods of self-report questionnaires and interviews. Previously, it has been evidence that EEG Oscillations can discriminate mental…

Internet addiction (IA) has adverse effects on psychophysiological responses, interpersonal relationships, and academic and occupational performance. IA detection has received increasing attention. Although questionnaires enable long-term assessment (over 6 months) and physiological measurements to aid the short-term evaluation (over 2 min) of IA, the lack of algorithms results in an inability to detect IA in…

Artificial intelligence (AI) systems have been applied not only to numerical simulations of the economical sequences but also to the bio-signal, for instance, the statokinesigrams (SKGs). According to the nonlinear analysis of the bio-signal, we have considered that the motion process of the body sway is more random than that of the other bio-signal. In…

This paper presents a new observer-based method which deals with the extraction of amplitude of characteristic frequencies for the fault diagnosis in permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM). First, a pilot survey is made to investigate the typical harmonics in the line currents of PMSM. Second, an appropriate structure of observer is formulated with the input…

Effective Fetal Electrocardiogram (FECG) Extraction provides medical workers with precise knowledge for monitoring fetal health condition during gestational age. However, Fetal ECG Extraction still remains a challenge as the signal is weak and contaminated with noises of different kinds, more significantly maternal ECG. In this work, a new Moth Flame optimization algorithm (MFO)-based adaptive filter…

3D city modeling may be considered as one of the key applications, that are provided by the Automated Feature Extraction (AFE) techniques from LiDAR data. The authors attempt to prove that with growing availability of LiDAR surveying methods the resulted 3D city models become the most significant modeled features for any urban environment. Our paper…

This paper presents the setup of eye tracking calibration methodology and the preliminary test results of the training model from the eye tracking data. Eye tracking requires good accuracy from the calibration process of the human eyes feature extraction from facial region. Viola-Jones algorithm is applied for this purpose by using Haar Basic feature filters…

Person recognition using thermal imaging, multi-biometric traits, with groups of feature filters and classifiers, is the subject of this paper. These were used to tackle the problems of biometric systems, such as a change in illumination and spoof attacks. Using a combination of, hard and soft-biometric, attributes in thermal facial images. The hard-biometric trait, of…

The increasing number of breast cancer in recent years has attracted numerous researchers’ attention. Several techniques of Computer Aided Diagnosis System have been proposed as alternative solutions to diagnose breast cancer. The flaw of simply using the naked eye to see the differences between normal and with cancer mammogram images makes the texture analysis play…

Relation Extraction is an important subtask of Information Extraction that involves extracting significant facts from natural language text. Extracting structured information from the plaintext is the ultimate goal of IE systems. The Indian language content on the internet is increasing day to day. Extracting relevant information from this huge unstructured data is a challenging task…

There are more than 7billion people in the world where there are around 500 million people in the world who are denied from normal lifestyle due to physical and mental issue. It is completely fair to say that every person deserves to enjoy a normal lifestyle. While physically and mentally challenged people find suitable way…

Sentiment analysis is one of the most popular information extraction tasks both from business and research prospective. From the standpoint of research, sentiment analysis relies on the methods developed for natural language processing and information extraction. One of the key aspects of it is the opinion word lexicon. Product’s feature from online reviews is an…

Neural Networks derives intelligent systems and modern autonomous applications. With the complexity introduced in today’s systems, designing architectures remains open research problem in all fields. Despite many efforts to generalize, the resources required by neural architectures remain challenge. Robots design, Smart cities, IoTs …etc. become the leading industry and driving the fourth industrial revolutions. All…

Heart rate (HR) is a critical indicator in fitness monitoring, athletic performance evaluation, and injury prevention. However, traditional motion-sensitive wearable devices are highly susceptible to movement artifacts, which degrade measurement accuracy during physical activity. Remote photoplethysmography (rPPG) offers a non-contact alternative for HR measurement, though it too remains sensitive to motion. This study proposes a…

Text line segmentation from document images is a significant challenge in the field of document image analysis. It involves extracting individual text lines from Myanmar handwritten document images to enable text recognition. This task becomes particularly challenging in Myanmar handwritten documents, especially those with irregular or cursive writing styles, due to variations in line spacing,…

This manuscript offers an in-depth analysis of Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI), em- phasizing its crucial role in developing transparent and ethically compliant AI systems. It traces AI’s evolution from basic algorithms to complex systems capable of autonomous de- cisions with self-explanation. The paper distinguishes between explainability—making AI decision processes understandable to humans—and interpretability, which provides…

RetePAIoT of Emilia-Romagna region is an IoT Public Network, financed by Emilia-Romagna Region and developed by Lepida Scpa, where citizens, private companies and Public Administrations can integrate free of charge their own sensors of any type and anywhere in the region. The main objective of the project is to provide a facility to implement the…

Sleep stage performs a vital role in people’s daily lives in the detection of sleep-related diseases. Conventional automated sleep stage classifier models are not efficient due to the complexity linked to the design of mathematical models and extraction of hand-engineering features. Further, quick oscillations amongst sleep stages frequently lead to indistinct feature extraction, which might…

Aging is considered to be a complex process in almost every species’ life, which can be studied at a variety of levels of abstraction as well as in different organs. Not surprisingly, biometric characteristics from facial images play a significant role in predicting human’s age. Specifically, automatic age estimation in real-time situation has begun to…

Owing to technological development, the internet has become the world’s largest platform where an unaccountable amount of e-news information is freely available to use. Most of the time, e-newspaper readers have to examine the massive collection of e-news articles to locate necessary information relevant to them. Massive semi-structured and unstructured texts usually mislead the readers…

An automatic speech recognition (ASR) is a key technology for preventing an ongoing global coronavirus epidemic. Due to the limited corpus database and the morphological diversity of the Thai language, Thai speech recognition is still difficult. In this research, the automatic speech recognition model was built differently from the traditional Thai NLP systems by using…
